Quick connect extruder fan - ANET A6

thingiverse

This upgrade makes the extruder fan quickly detachable/attachable without using magnets. Instead, it uses hooks/clips that lock tightly into place. This design was originally created to fit the ANET A6 without modifying the stock screws holding the extruder stepper motor in place. It still utilizes the stock heat sink and has dedicated space for airflow from the fan. After-market parts needed for installation include: Four countersink screws (1" long) with nuts used to attach the fan to the thinner quick connect plate. Note: If you're looking for a Batman fan cover, it can be found on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2468811. Update: For anyone interested, I came across another great design by RichieK. It's very simple, easy to print, and works well. You can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3099928
